  1. This article talks about using both vinegar and peroxide for disinfecting, with guidelines for using them: http://cleaningbusinesstoday.com/blog/hydrogen-peroxide-vinegar-a-disinfecting-duo
  2. Have you considered a concierge doctor? They have fewer patients, with more personalized care for them. There is an extra charge for their services, though. I haven't tried one, but I was tempted when I had a several year period of hard to figure out issues.
  3. Nevermind -- I remembered the book wrong
  4. Ours was a cactus wren, on our suet feeder. Thanks for posting, my daughter might be interested in keeping a yearly tally!
  5. a cool mug a book, magazine or DVD you think he would like a nicer than usual pen or mechanical pencil nerf something nice deck of cards
  6. I believe the official term is "scromiting". Often used by ER doctors who started seeing long term cannabis users developing the (thankfully rare) side effect called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. Apparently very unpleasant, hence the screaming and crying. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article188594884.html
  7. I don't think the question is how cats and dogs behave, it's how THIS cat and THIS dog behave, and whether they are a good match. The way dogs respond to cats runs the gamut from chase & kill to calm & friendly. I agree that the cat's response is perfectly normal, considering how the dog is acting. They may or may not work it out in an acceptable way. We hand raised a litter of 6 kittens and adopted them out. One (the one who played with our dog and wasn't scared of her in the least) went to live with dachshunds and was returned to us four months later because it was not working out. Our previously relaxed and happy kitten was jumpy and anxious. Several years later he still has a strange habit of being wary of doorways and jumping over them, though he is a happy and friendly cat in general, and still gets along beautifully with our dog. I'm sure he was traumatized by living with those dachshunds. Not all cats are wired to stand up to a dog and dominate them, so that may never happen until the cat is cornered and has no other choices. If you are willing, and your dog is trainable, you might try clicker training. it would involve training your dog to look at you and receive treats while in the presence of the cat. Training would need to be consistent and frequent initially, but you would probably soon have an idea if you could make it work. By the way, if you do adopt another dog, it certainly could worsen the cat's position in the household. The new dog might also be aggressive toward cats and set off your first dog. Pack behavior is typically more dangerous than a single dog. Good luck! You are in a nice position of having a back up home if you see things are not improving.
  8. I've used both Hydroflask and Contigo Autoseal and like them both very well. The Contigo is easier to drink from one handed (which is why we have lots of them), but doesn't have a carry loop like the Hydroflasks do. Both are excellent about keeping water cold.
  9. Lots of diaper bags fit that criteria! This one's cute! https://smile.amazon.com/Lekebaby-Large-Diaper-Satchel-Messenger/dp/B01N7SZZHO/ref=sr_1_12_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1512619125&sr=1-12&keywords=diaper+tote And this: https://smile.amazon.com/Skip-Hop-Signature-Multipockets-Heather/dp/B00J4J2CLS/ref=sr_1_16_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1512619245&sr=1-16&keywords=diaper%2Btote&th=1
  10. When you want to go over the top, and aren't counting calories, try Nun's Revenge! It's really good! https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/-nuns-revenge-fabulous-italian-hot-chocolate-236601
  11. You should blanch it first: http://www.gettystewart.com/blanch-freeze-spinach/

  13. Here are some ideas: 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Mousse: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/3-ingredient-pumpkin-mousse#reviews Brigadeiros: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/brigadeiros Easy Granola Bars: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/easy-granola-bars-5708c53433c74cc77dacf7ea Frozen Lemon Pie Pops: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/frozen-lemon-pie-pops-51174800 No Churn Salted Caramel Ice Cream: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/no-churn-salted-caramel-ice-cream-56389941 Gooey Chocolate Chip Sandwich Bars: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/gooey-chocolate-chip-sandwich-bars Coconut Chocolate Bars: https://www.chef-in-training.com/2013/04/coconut-chocolate-bars/ Honestly, none of these are much healthier than just eating it from the can, if that is what you like! Like a lot of previous posters, I mostly use it in strong coffee/espresso for a quick version of vietnamese coffee.
  14. I haven't tried these myself, but I just ran across this brand (Keune). The reviews are solid. They are not unscented, but it sounds like the scents are guy friendly. And they make several product for frizzy hair, such as these: Keune Blend De-Frizz: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7S2GO3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10?smid=A12MA133MWAN8T&psc=1 Keune Mineral Cream: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003JC1438/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=A17HBJ8G7DN149&psc=1 Keune De-Frizz Shine Serum: https://www.amazon.com/Keune-Natural-Balance-DeFrizz-Shine/dp/B0075CIEW2/ref=sr_1_11_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1510166350&sr=8-11&keywords=keune+frizz
  15. You could bring concentrated cold brew, and add hot water as needed. It's easy to make at home, and it's also commercially available. For an instant packet, I've taken these on vacation and found them actually pretty decent. Better than some cups I've made at home. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055B6J9A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
  16. My oldest son became a voracious reader in elementary school when he discovered Calvin and Hobbes. It kept him going for a while because there are a lot of them, and the vocabulary is great. The humor is what drew him in. You might find a comic that speaks to her interests, such as The Far Side (lots of animals and very funny!), Dilbert (also animals) etc. These have the advantage of being able to be read in small bites, so if she finds reading tiring she can read as much or as little as she likes and not worry about losing the plot thread.
  17. The West Wing (I was just watching it this morning while using my water rower). I put captions on because I miss important details when they talk fast.
  18. Have you tried looking on Amazon? If you type in boho skirt, you get a lot of hits! Many have free returns as well. And you can check reviews for information on quality, fit, etc. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_1?fst=as%3Aon&rh=n%3A7141123011%2Cn%3A7147440011%2Cn%3A1040660%2Ck%3Aboho+skirt&keywords=boho+skirt&ie=UTF8&qid=1503877634&spIA=B01COOE4TM,B01MT39RBD,B071999Y3S,B06ZXWXB4C,B072DZ1LX2,B06Y5QFGB3,B01N7POQ7V,B0111Q5WI6,B01M5CFDWO,B01N6L20TK,B01COODU2E,B01N0ZIXM1,B071VJXXPD,B06Y58DDF6,B073J92PWS,B06XCS97TL&lo=none
  19. I have these recipes saved to try, but haven't had a chance to yet -- the birds get 95% of our figs and we just eat the rest fresh as they come off the tree.

  24. OK, closer to this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VJKI89U/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2XXIQZFW5AJC9 I have one similar to the first one I linked. I love it. It cleans up beautifully in the dishwasher, never smells, and does't scratch.
  25. Was it something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Purpose-Washing-Scrubbers-Scrubbing-Dishcloth/dp/B016HZWSHE/ref=pd_sim_201_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B016HZWSHE&pd_rd_r=WXPZ6H926R0V0JSHT04J&pd_rd_w=8iNwo&pd_rd_wg=0tcuf&psc=1&refRID=WXPZ6H926R0V0JSHT04J
